Question on proper gun cleaning
Ulli:
You should clean it everytime after shooting with oil. And you should apply a thin layer of oil after the cleaning on it and in the barrel. Before shooting the oil in the barrel has to removed with some wicks, you can pull through the barrel with a small chain. Harder smoke residues you can remove with oil and a toothbrush.
Every Jew AK47:
A gun runs better wet and dirty, than dry and clean.. Don't forget to keep it lubed. ARs, you need to clean all the time.. YES! AKs, you can theoretically throw in the mud, take it out a year later and it will still fire. However, cleaning all your guns is never a bad idea, especially if your life depends on them.

What would happen if you didn't remove the oil in the barrel before firing it?

The projectile is pushing the oil forward, more and more oil is so in front of it and the resistance is growing. It can come to it, that the projectile makes a full stop. Then the barrel becomes a belly because the gas cannot escape.

Ah, ok.
